Ollama (local)

Any model Ollama serves: Llama, Gemma, Qwen, Mistral, DeepSeek. Local bases need no key. Logprobs are not available, so Verdict's LLM link answers without a distribution.

bash

LLM_CHAIN=ollama,anthropic   # failover to a second endpoint is one more name
LLM_OLLAMA_MODEL=llama3.3
# base defaults to http://localhost:11434/v1 — no key for a local base

Every endpoint takes the same knobs: LLM_<NAME>_TEMPERATURE (none omits it), LLM_<NAME>_BODY (JSON merged into every request), LLM_<NAME>_PRICE (input,cached,output per million, for the cost ledger), LLM_<NAME>_NOTES (a per-model notes file). Two models of one provider: LLM_FAST_PRESET=ollama under another name. Environment has the full list.

Check it: npm run gateway, then curl localhost:8787/api/health — the llm.chain entry shows the endpoint, whether its key is set, and its state.
